OCCURRENCE

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Meat is too close to the broil burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the broiler.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.

Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the insert with foil.
